Latin Translation

“It is worth the expense of youthful days and costly hours, if you learn only some words of an ancient language, which are raised out of the trivialness of the street, to be perpetual suggestions and provocations.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“...it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion.”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 7:9.
